> it's irrelevant to my point.

It's not though, the existence of true subjectivity is the central point of the hard problem of consciousness. Science consists of third party objective facts, and so accepting the existence of first person subjective facts is incompatible with materialist science.

> And I think the question of what produces them is worth investigating.

I agree, I don't think anybody disputes that. Illusionism doesn't preclude investigation into how the illusion is produced, it's just a framework for interpreting the results of experiments in a way that's compatible with materialism.

> Do you mean that I'm programmed by evolution to believe and behave as if I have internal experiences, but I actually don't?

Your perceptions of subjective qualitative experience are incompatible with materialist science, as I said. You then have two choices: choose to privilege your perceptions and claim that you have some direct access to some aspect of reality, or accept that your perceptions of subjectivity are not a direct perception of reality and thus illusory.

Indeed I can never enjoy Mediterranean sunshine idleness.

To me the sin is not to get the most out of life and especially not devoted most of life to a passion. To me the sin is to stop "evolving". Getting sunshine is mostly for health benefit.

I keep asking myself: Did I learn more about the universe? Did I improve myself today? Of course most of the time the answer is no, but I still try to get some yes occasionally.

A bit of idleness for sure is an antidote for burnout, but the Mediterranean sunshine idleness is way way too much for my taste.
Jef Raskin's initial idea, I believe, was more of a text system that would have been possible with the 6809.

The Canon Cat was a further development of this idea.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_Cat

I can't find any demo or screen shots of the Canon Cat system in use, but I imagine it to be somewhat along the lines of the HASCI concept, which had been brewing around the same time.

https://archive.org/details/byte-magazine-1982-11/page/n404/...

HASCI actually shipped on the USA version of the Epson QX-10 as "Valdocs", an integrated document management system.
Auckland: active volcano field

Toupo: supervolcano double the size of Yellowstone

Wellington: been waiting for "the big one" earthquake as long as I can remember.

Christchurch: Had their big one, the paved roads turned to sand. Entire suburbs got abandoned. Main shopping district is still made out of shipping containers.

Everywhere: no ozone, you burn instantly in summer without 100spf at 10am and even then it's still kind of stupid to go outside at all around 2pm.

Seriously, just do yourself a favour, move to Sydney, Australia. The snakes mostly keep to the outer suburbs and the spiders aren't that scary. The giant flying cockroaches take a bit to get used to though.
The original poster is just expressing a knee-jerk assumption that it’ll be assumed to be ecologically bad and outlawed for that, while simultaneously expressing that they don’t believe that reasoning when applied to other things that are already prohibited on those grounds.

In other words, they’re not expressing an honest opinion with the statement, they’re signaling their belief in a worldview that assumes environmental regulation has ulterior motives.
This kind of aggressive "there is something wrong with you if you don't have the same preferences and priorities as me" is such a turn-off.

I don't use it because the compiler is just too slow; waiting 2.5 seconds for even simple files is a massive pain. I want the old "CoffeeScript experience" where you compile stuff on-demand in development and output errors in the webpage or stderr. It works very well, is low complexity, and requires almost no effort. But you can't as it's just too slow.

esbuild doesn't typecheck so it's not an option. And hugely complex background builders are, well, hugely complex, it's not an option.

TypeScript-the-language may be nice, but TypeScript-the-tooling is not particularly great.

And even if this was solved: any build step will add complexity. The ability to "just" fetch /script.js and "just" edit it is quite nice. This is also why I've avoided CSS pre-processors since forever (needed a bit less now that variables are widely supported).

Of course different projects are different and for some projects these downsides are less pronounced. There is no one perfect solution. But there are definitely downsides to using TypeScript.
macOS puts screenshots on the desktop and you can’t change it. So it just ends up looking like that no matter what you prefer.

By that logic, price fixing is okay, because you yourself don't have the power to price fix, you need to coordinate with others to do so!

The fact that they spend money in order to abuse market power, rather than already having all of that market power (without paying another party) and misusing it shouldn't be relevant.

I've always gravitated towards minimalist wallets.

For a time, I just used a rubber band. Although it was stupid looking to other people, the rubber friction did help it stay in my pocket.

I've come to like tyvek wallets. Search "mighty wallet" or "tyvek wallet" on amazon. They are super thin, yet durable and functional. They also can look normal to people (unless you get the peanut butter and jelly sandwich one)
Actually, they really are better than ICE vehicles. Alternators are horrible.

is there a document or code reference that describes the subset of HTML/JS/CSS which is supported by dillo? i've seen a number of people wishing for realistically achievable "HTML-lite" that could be targeted as an alternative to separate protocols like Gemini and dillo's baseline feels like it would be a good starting point.
I’ve often thought that the Northeast of America heavily suggests an “Intelligent Hand”. The sheer amount of plants that are edible is mind boggling. Apples, acorns, elder/choke berries, walnuts, hazelnuts, onions, garlic, cattails, dandelions, cabbage — just to name a few. And that doesn’t include all the medicinal plants like willow bark for aspirin or aromatics like violet, lilac & sage.

And it’s not just the sheer number of varieties, but also how incredibly accessible and nutrient rich that they are. It always feels to me like magic that I can eat entire meals for weeks at a time just off the land in the northeast during the spring, summer & fall seasons. It feels like someone tweaked things to grow these kinds of plants specifically for easy human consumption.

Then again, could be I’m just overthinking. :o)

An interesting alternative question: "how necessary is ROCm when working with APU?".

CUDA's advantage seemed to me to come mostly from memory management and task scheduling being so poor on AMD cards. If AMD has engineered that problem out of the system, we might be able to get away with using 3rd party libraries instead of these vendor-promoted frameworks.

> Free for personal use. We don't charge based on features or usage. Only pay if you use Obsidian commercially.

But the FAQ does:

> What is considered commercial use?*

> Commercial use means using Obsidian for revenue-generating or work-related activities within a for‑profit organization that has two or more employees. Government departments and agencies are considered commercial use, unless registered as a non-profit organization. For all other purposes, you're welcome to use Obsidian for free. Learn more.

("Learn more" leads to subtle differences from the FAQ, eg. organisations with 2 or more people rather than employees, and "work-related activities that generate revenue", but the gist is the same)

Ballad Of The Army Carts

Wagons rattling and banging,
horses neighing and snorting,
conscripts marching, each with bow and arrows at his hip,
fathers and mothers, wives and children, running to see them off--
so much dust kicked up you can't see Xian-yang Bridge!
And the families pulling at their clothes, stamping feet in anger,
blocking the way and weeping--
ah, the sound of their wailing rises straight up to assault heaven.
And a passerby asks, "What's going on?"
The soldier says simply, "This happens all the time.
From age fifteen some are sent to guard the north,
and even at forty some work the army farms in the west.
When they leave home, the village headman has to wrap their turbans for them;
when they come back, white-haired, they're still guarding the frontier.
The frontier posts run with blood enough to fill an ocean,
and the war-loving Emperor's dreams of conquest have still not ended.
Hasn't he heard that in Han, east of the mountains,
there are two hundred prefectures, thousands and thousands of villages,
growing nothing but thorns?
And even where there is a sturdy wife to handle hoe and plough,
the poor crops grow raggedly in haphazard fields.
It's even worse for the men of Qin; they're such good fighters
they're driven from battle to battle like dogs or chickens.
Even though you were kind enough to ask, good sir,
perhaps I shouldn't express such resentment.
But take this winter, for instance,
they still haven't demobilized the troops of Guanxi,
and the tax collectors are pressing everyone for land-fees--
land-fees!--from where is that money supposed to come?
Truly, it is an evil thing to bear a son these days,
it is much better to have daughters;
at least you can marry a daughter to the neighbor,
but a son is born only to die, his body lost in the wild grass.
Has my lord seen the shores of the Kokonor?
The white bones lie there in drifts, uncollected.
New ghosts complain and old ghosts weep,
under the lowering sky their voices cry out in the rain."
Why are Southern California officials releasing more mosquitoes?
>> You seem nice, so I am happy to assume good intentions on your part

I was not a nice person at this point, and my intentions were to have somewhere to sleep out of the rain.

I did at one point live in actual squat where people had broken in, the breaking in part happened before I got there, but I lived there for I guess what was the greatest summer ever. That was in a different city. I got out before the eviction happened, but what happened was that the landlord eventually figured out there were 7 hardcore kids squatting in this basement apartment and he came over and told them they had 24 hours to get out before he called the cops.

In that location, the cops would have come, and the cops would have kicked the kids out that day, like literally kicked them out. Kicked their asses.

In the other situation I describe, it was in a different city. Crime central. The cops weren't coming. Not to kick me out of a squat, not to kick me out of an apartment that somebody maybe had rented way back when. Not for anything. I could have set up a meth lab. Cops weren't coming.

My meaning is, if you're a landlord, you're signing up to deal with this shit, know what you're getting in to. In some places you just call the cops. In some places, $1,000 to get rid of a non-tenant like squatter me would be getting off super cheap. It would be a business decision.
Really? I always thought it was the coils firing for the spark.
One part really jumped out at me:

Thus only a very small number of companies (currently TSMC, Samsung, and Intel) attempt to operate leading-edge nodes, and the industry has shifted to a “fabless” model where companies like Apple and Nvidia design their chips but have them manufactured by “foundries” like TSMC. By pooling the orders of many different chip companies, the foundries can achieve the scale necessary to afford cutting edge fabs.

I wonder if AI training will end up being similar in the long-term (it's already partially true today).

The dichotomy isn't between merging upstream changes into your branch vs. rebasing your branch on top of them. It's between doing one of those things and doing nothing, and doing nothing is the better (and easier!) option here.

(When I mention it above, it's for a case like "the branch is several months old, two versions have been released in that time, and I'm revisiting it to finish it up now", and in that case you just merge the latest version tag (tag, not branch) before continuing. It's a very specific thing.)

The main reason I see in practice that people do something, rather than nothing, is because someone is insisting on clicking the button on Github's web interface to merge a topic, which insists the merge be trivial. Faced with this sort of (bad) maintainership, the topic author has to choose between rebasing the topic, losing some useful graph properties (independence of unrelated branches) in the process, or merging upstream just before upstream merges them, which is incredibly stupid-looking (and very annoying when reading history, nothing is in the place you look for it).

Usually they choose the former, or have it chosen for them. And now the branch, topologically, includes a bunch of unrelated things, and if you have any sort of triaging integration, QA, maintenance versions, or just want to read the graph to see what topic depends on what other topic, this is broken on this no-longer-independent topic. (In very bad cases, you might need to acquire a lock on a human, precisely what the whole system is meant to avoid.)

The best thing is just to do nothing. If you're using Git as originally intended, your branch became patches anyway, it doesn't have a history. (As the maintainer receiving them, you just apply the patches to the latest version tag, pretty much, unless it's in series with something else, or it's a bugfix (always apply a bugfix commit directly onto the commit that introduced the bug. it can then be merged into any maintenance branch or other branch containing the bug. the word "cherry-pick" need never cross your keyboard.)) But a bad webapp broke things for a lot of people, and it was worked around in various ways.

I wish more reporters had a law background. The article is full of things that are almost true but misleading, and a handful that are flat-out wrong. For example:

> If Mehta sides with Google, the company's business practices will likely remain the same. If he rules in favor of the Justice Department, it's unclear how he'd sanction Google. It could be anything from fines to a restructuring of the company.

Put aside that “sanction” is a term of art that is misused here and focus on the glaring inaccuracy: DOJ cannot request fines as a remedy for the Section 2 allegations they have brought! Add to that the fact that restructuring is vanishingly unlikely and you get a paragraph so misleading that it should be stricken from the article.

DOJ, if they win the first part of the trial, is almost certainly going to request injunctive relief to prevent Google from entering into the exclusionary contracts that they challenged in this case. They could also ask for a court-ordered monitoring program to ensure ongoing compliance with the antitrust laws for a period of time. At the extreme, there could be some form of mandated data sharing to rivals to compensate for Google excluding them from search access points and depriving them of the scale DOJ says they need to compete.

I'll do some free work for NPR and rewrite their paragraph:

> If Judge Mehta sides with Google, the company's business practices can remain unchanged. The Justice Department has not yet revealed what remedies they would request if Judge Mehta rules in their favor, but they are likely to include an order preventing Google from entering into deals that give the company's search engine preferential treatment on iOS, Android, and the FireFox browser. A breakup of the company is unlikely.

Never mind that almost no residential structure has an actual proper range hood: a proper range hood has a matching makeup air system to avoid depressurization the room, which has its own problems.

(Modern codes mostly require some form of makeup air mechanism for a hood rated 400cfm or higher. I’ve never seen a residential kitchen with an actual working setup like this, although it’s common in a well designed commercial kitchen. What actually happens is that lower end / smaller residential kitchens often have combination microwave/hood units, and they work very poorly. Large / high end residential kitchens end up with standalone hoods with far too much flow, poorly sealed ducts, crappy loud blowers, and no makeup air. If you enter the parameters of a residential stove into a commercial kitchen ventilation calculator, you end up with a rather small flow rate, and the high end residential brands love to advertise much larger numbers.)

Rust RFC: Syntax for embedding cargo-script manifests
Not necessarily. This also uncovers the weakness of the NYT lawsuit.

Imagine in your corpus of training data is the following:

- bloga.com: "I read in the NYT that 'it rains cats and dogs twice per year'"

- blogb.com: "according to the NYT, 'cats and dogs level rain occurs 2 times per year."

- newssite.com: "cats and dogs rain events happen twice per year, according to the New York Times"

Now, you chat with an LLM trained on this data, asking it "how many times per year does it rain cats and dogs?"

"According to the New York Times, it rains cats and dogs twice per year."

NYT content was never in the training data, however it -is- mentioned a lot on various sources throughout commoncrawl-approved sources, therefore gets a higher probability association with next token.

Zoom that out to full articles quoted throughout the web, and you get false positives.
